How are current and resistance related are they directly proprtional or inversely proportional?

inversely proportional


The statement that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is known as whose law?

The statement current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is known as Ohm's Law.


Do Power is directly proportional to resistance or inversely proportional to resistance?

It is both proportional and inversely propertional to resistance however I am not exactly sure why which is why I am searching Google ATM for answers.


Is there a direct or inverse proportion between voltage and resistance?

voltage is directly proportional to resistance, and the current is inversely proportional to resistance. According to Ohm's Law, current is directly proportional to voltage.


Is resistance inversely or directly proportional to temperature?

Directly proportional. As temperature goes up, so does resistance (hence supercomputers being cooled to such low temperatures).


Which variable is inversely proportional to the resistance?

If you have a conductor ... say, a copper wire ... and you keep its diameter and temperatureconstant, then yes, its resistance will be directly proportional to its length.


What is directly and inversely proportional relationship?

Directly proportional relationship is F=ma, F is directly proportional to a. Inversely proportional relationship is v=r/t, v is inversely proportional to t.


How does resistance affects electric current?

Ohm's law states that the current is directly proportional to the applied EMF (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance of a circuit.


Is potential difference directly or inversely proportional to resistance?

Potential Difference (V) across two resistors is directly proportional to the resistance (R) as greater the potential difference, greater is the resistance and vice versa.


Ohm's law shows that current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and is inversely proportional to resistance?

Yes! Good work.


Do resistors lower volts or amps?

Current is directly proportional to the applied emf (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.


How are current and voltage related are they directly proprtional or inversely proportional?

Current and Voltage are directly proportional. V=voltage, I=current, R=resistance V=I*R
